Hungarian Prime Minister (Viktor Orban) Hits Back At Biden Calling Him A 'Thug'

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a prominent right-wing voice in Central Europe, fired back at U.S. President Joe Biden for his remark on the campaign trail that grouped the leader in with autocratic strongmen like Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and North Korea's Kim Jong Un.

During a town hall in 2020, Biden accused then-President Donald Trump of palling around with "all the thugs in the world":

"You see what’s happening from Belarus through Poland and Hungary and the rise of totalitarian regimes in the world", Biden said at the time. "Our current president supports all the thugs in the world."
